So my tiny front yard has a northern aspect and three reasonable sized live oaks.  I'm starting to plant the existing gardens which for the most part are empty.  I'm using some Caladiums for a pop of color, but do I need to lift them in December and dry store them, or can they stay in the ground all year?  Location is Houston, TX

The ground never freezes here so no need to lift them.  I've had several varieties in ground for the last 3 big freezes and they all come back with no issues.

Sweet. I read on numerous websites they should be ok, but it seemed borderline.  Good to hear from someone who is actually growing them here. Lots of those websites are very generic with their articles.
